Saving shelter dogs’ lives is a big part of the UPenn Canine Mammary Tumor Program. People often don’t adopt dogs with cancer and shelters often don’t have the resources to treat them. Through this program, 172 shelter dogs with mammary tumors have received lifesaving treatment. The research gathered on these patients and their mammary tumors will also benefit both dogs and people in the future.

UPenn’s Cancer Care Support Fund helps pet parents who can’t afford cancer treatments for their pets. The program provides lifesaving treatment to save pets’ lives and keep them with their families.
